When I get my second pug (yes, I'm thinking about getting another one!) I just might name it "Dilly" because a little girl once took a look at my Paco and said, "His tail looks just like a Dairy Queen Dilly Bar!"

i have a 10 month old pug named Jazz. i'm getting another one this week and i'm planning to name her Baila. i was thinking of a unique name that has something to do with music that's why i came up with "Baila" - a form of dance music. i had to do some research about music styles at wikipedia just for the name. :-P

I have a 1 year old pug i got from a rescue center when he was only 5 months old!!! I named him skillet. He is so cute he is black and loves to play with my daughter and are cat!!! So cute we are getting another one and nameing him scoodle!!! My daughter names all of are dogs!!! : )

we have one pug and his name is Nigel Winston we like both names and couldn't pick one but know we are getting another pug and his name is Otto Charles they are just the best dogs in the world (or 4 legged human)

We have 2 pugs. Sir Charles Philip Oliver is a fawn pug. AKA "Ollie". Our black pug we adopted at the age of 3 years old. He came to us with the name Frank. At the time, Frank was a little overweight and he was dubbed "Frank the Tank".

We have a 7 mo old fawn female named Buba(boo-ba)perfect fit with the buggy eyes and playfulness. If we get a male the choices would be: Betis, Yoda, Loke, or Bonaparte. All depends on the personality of the Pug.

I'm getting one in a few months - the mum is pregnant and they'll be ready to go by Mid-November. Its going to be a black one. I'm gonna call her either Shadow, Phoenix or Mustang - haven't decided yet. But at least which ever one I choose leaves 2 names for 2 more pugs to come along.

Our pug is named 'James Brown'; not only does his face look a lot like the real James Brown's in his latter years, when James Brown the pug is told to "get down' off the sofa, everyone has a good laugh!

okk I need help on a name...my pug (Dixie)had a liter 4 weeks ago...she had 6 but 3 didnt make it. :(I named one of the females Daisy , the lil male charlie(he is the runt) and i cant think if a good name for the other female. she is kinda prissy and definately looks like a girl, I was thinking baby or Princesswhich one do you all think? (she also is the one that is a cryer)

I got a pug 2 weeks ago and I named her Sookie, It suits her very well we call her all kinds of things though Sookie Monster, Sook, the sookster, and Sookie Tookie. Im fearing she isnt very smart though she recognizes her name and responds but doesnt come just looks at me. Are they all like that?

Mabel was the first. I named her Mabel because it means adorable. My husband insisted that if I name her Mabel, the Joy had to go with it after a song he liked from the 70's. A year after she was named, I found out that the Mabel Joy in the song was a prostitute. My husband thinks he's so funny.

I have been having a lot of trouble house training my pug i know it is part of the breed but if anyone has anytips could you please email me at poot2190@aol.com with a subject line of Pug Tips. I would really appreciate it ! Thanks Lindsey

I got a very sweet black female pug puppy yesterday. She is really cute! We have been trying to think of names.I liked "Daphne" because she looks like a beautiful Princess & Daphne sounds like the name of a Princess but my husband did not like that name at all he likes "Mattie". She is very curious and loves to bite and tug on everything, including us! Sometimes it hurts so once I said she bites like the Devil. So we are thinking the name 'Lucy Fur' might be good. We would just call her "Lucy."My husband said she looks like someone smashed her cute little face with a skillet, but "Skillet" sounds like a boys name to me.Does anyone have any idea's for a sweet girl's names?

We have 4 pugs 3 females and a male.My black pug is named Tia. My 2 fawn twins are named Candi and Styx. And my baby boy is named Carlos. We also have a lab X named 73. People ask if we're breeder, but nope we just love pugs.

we are preparing to get our 1st pug in june. my husband LOVES and i mean LOVES ODIE, you know from Garfield comic strip... i like OZZIE...its his dog so he'll probably win!!! i liked the names everyone suggested..they were all good choices...let you know in june what we decide

HI we also love our pugs we have 2 girls named Ping which is fawn, and Salem who is black. My husbands Aunt Also has 2 pugs a male and female named Woo and Lai-Ling. We Just Love all the pug names on the page. We also had a female fawn that passed away that was named Cricket Lol thought they looked like one as a puppy with those bug eyes. Pugs are GREAT FAMILY PETS if you don't have one you are missing out but beware pugs require lots of attention they require affection aslomst as much as they do food they MUST be with their family and be loved know this FIRST they are very special dogs and require the dedication that you would give a new baby! - Amanda (pugsrule)

i have the most beautiful pug, her name is blossom. She black and she has a middle name, leigh. Its pronounced as Lee. Anyways i love the name. we named her that because pugs were originated in china and we thought blossom leigh just sound right. Oh yeah, cocoa, and porky are other good names!

omg i just had to get rid of my baby pug charlie about 2 months agoit was ssooooo hard i got so attached to himi will never forget the way he cuddled me and was the only one i could talk tohe would sometimes even snort at my jokeswhen i cried he criedwhen i smiled he smiledwhen i was sad, mad, or scared he was sad, mad or scaredi love you charlieyou were my baby boy and i will always love you so remember never get a dog if you are not ready to commit because you get so attached and you may also neglet the dog and that is not nice either!so spread the pug love evenlyI LOVE PUGS!

The saying you can't have just one is very true when it comes to pugs. I have three. Black male named Pugsly,black female named Pepper and a fawn female called Oliver,Ollie Bean for short. My first pug died of cancer 4 years ago she was only 3 years old, her name was Merf.

We named our fawn male pug Yoda. I was surprised that name didn't make the list and that no one that left a comment used that name. We thought it was a great name for him. We took a lot of pictures with him and a toy Yoda from Star Wars. Pugs are the best : )

We have a boston terrier named Snoopy and about to get another fawn pug male and name him Linus. Glad to see that made your list!

I posted earlier (May 18), saying my pug's name is Addams. Shortly after that post we got a male black pug puppy. It was very difficult to name him. We wanted something starting with a Z, since we had an "A". We thought of Zedd, Zeek (Zeke, but we also wanted a double letter), I liked Zazu. We decided on Zuul, the minion of Gozer(another name choice) from the movie GhostBusters. It suits him, he looks (and acts!) just like a little monster!

I have a fawn pug, his name is Tommy, he has the cutest, little face, and he's one of the smaller pugs. I love him to death.We're thinking about getting another pug, i really want a black girl, and i'm thinking of naming her Daisy, or Lucy

I will soon be getting a pugador (Half pug half yellow lab) He is black and down right adorable. He looked the most pug out of the bunch. My son either wants to name him Mickey, Pluto, or Henry... out of those 3 I like Henry. I am also liking the names Otis and Duke, but from this list I really liked Cole, Pugsly, Ripley, Quincy, and Zeke.

I am actually going today to pick up my new pug puppy! We are getting a black pug and were thinking about naming him Bear or Balou(like the bear on the Jungle Book)! Also we were thinking about Sarge because my fiancee is currently in Iraq and a Sergeant in the Army. Just some ideas! Hope you like them!

We actually named our pug "Snottie". The reason for this was when she was little she would get up in your face and act like she was going to give you kisses. What she did in fact was sneeze and blow snot in our face! Since she is unique, we decided to use the ending "ie" instead of "y" to capture her unique personality. Now that she's gotton older, she has actually taken on her name as her personality at times. But she's our girl and we love her to death......even if she is a little "snottie". =)

We named our lil pug boy "Spanky"from the little rascal show. When we got him at 8 wks old he was such a lil rascal it fit him perfectly:) He is not a dog to us at all, he is our son:) We never knew how much love he could bring to our home,we would be so lost with out him! He is such a joy!:)

Our Baby is named PEBBLES - From the Flintstones cartoons!! We LOOOOVE Her....she is such a character. We're getting another female , I'm pretty sure her name will be GLADYS....but Wilma , Edna , Sally , Betty , Betsy , Pumpkin , Peaches , Luscious ,...I even like Booger Butt for a boy. OMG!! There are sooo many funny names for pugs!!! LOL , I LOVE EM ALL!!!!!

I have two pugs, Miette the girl meaning sweet and little in French (at least that's what I've read) and Amadeus for the boy. Getting a third (black) pug here shortly and trying to think of a unique name for him.

I named my little fawn girl Jezabelle but mostly she gets called Jez or Jezzie, Jezabellerina sometimes too, oh and of course, there's fatso as a nickname when she won't listen...we got her as a stray who was found wandering the streets (like a true harlet) so i thought "Jezebel" suited her, I changed the spelling a bit to make it 'prettier' and to deviate a little from the old "wh*re" way of thinking.id love to get another pug, i like the name annamieke (or mieke for short), pronounced anna-meeka. its pretty :)I like how so much thought goes into a pugs name, like naming the new member of the family, its such a special thing to choose and sometimes their personality picks their name for them!i <3 pugs :)

My wife and I have been Pug'd for many years now. We currently own two females. My wife's pug is named Smudge, she is a little princess who is the most brilliant dog ever. Then there is my girl named Mocha who has a white chin that looks just like the white froth of a latte. She is my lovey beast. One day we are going to get another male pug and name it Pugzilla!!! Because pugs are big dogs in little bodies.

[The breeders my best friend<3] (: And the sire and dam of the puppy were gonna gets names are Neeko & Squidget.Hopes this helps!Pugs are the best, you cant just have one! -Brittany&Jason.From Wichita,KS.

We've had our (female) pug going on four years now. Every time we see other pugs we cant help but notice they're almost always paired up. Even three or more together which led us to realize, Pugs are like potato chips. You can't have just one. So yesterday we purchased our second. An adorable little girl of 10 weeks. Trying to decide on a name is proving a bit challenging. Our first we've nicknamed PaPato (it's an Italian cheese). It's more than fitting once you see her. Her actual name is Chloe which I also see is not on your list of names. Feel free to add either. We've found both to be pretty special pug names :)

i have a pug that's 3 year;s old his name is scooby i am ten years old so my mom has a pug named scooby for us at her house and my dad is getting a girl pug too we might name her bailey my parent spilt up

i never thought i would have wanted a pug until i went to a pet store and saw one . it was the cutest thing in the world . i want one so bad . if i get one im going to name it milly for a girl . im undecided on a boy name but i picked milly because i have a cute little teacup yorkie named molly and molly and milly sound so cute together .

I have had 4 pugs one died after being neutered, they all left him and went to lunch. #2 died at age 12 with cancer, #3, sister of#4 died when our garage door spring broke and hit the middle of her back. #4 was killed 2 wks ago by my neighbors two Pit Bulls in his own fenced in dog-run :(#1Pugger #2Waldo #3Toshie(*Toe-she) #4Boogie We may get two Black ones soon.

I have been thinking about getting a pug i have saved up enough and might be getting one very soon i cant decide whether to name my pug its a male Mr. Puggles or wrinkles can you please comment and tell me which 1 i should pick.

Just got our 5 pug...named her Jinx...solid black except for her left paw. So cute..as I stated before;our last pug was killed by neighbors pit bull..3 wks ago, we got a Boston Terrier..quite a difference from a laid back pug. Named her Callie (Mrs. Callabash. Callie is 13 wks and Jinx is 7 wks tomorrrow (Sat)They seem to be having fun...Jinx just needs to grow a bit. :)

We have a male pug named King. We are looking for a compatable female name for his mate. King's parents names are Spike & Summer. We're kinda looking for something starting with K sound. Not sure about Queen or what might be cute.? Any suggestions?

I have a fawn male named hoss had a female fawn named lucy she passed away the first of March she was such a sweetie getting a female fawn next wk. end and looking for a name for her . PUG'S ARE THE SWEETEST WE JUST LOVE THEM .

Our Pug is 4 years old. We named her ASIA. Since Pugs are of Asian descent. It fits her well, but we also could have named her PRECIOUS (that she is!) We would get another pug,but she is our lil princess,and would not want to upset her! LOVE,LOVE,LOVE her!

I had a very special man pug in my life his name was herbert, he would brighten my day. My new pug I'm not so sure it's been a couple years but I'm thinking of pugglesworth, Fred, chuck and a couple others it's so hard to decide but it will come to me I'm sure of it!

I have 2 Puggies..... Rebel is 4 and AnnaBella is 2...... We love Rebel for the perfect name for him....he is a Rascal...and "Bella" is from her name AnnaBella because l "Bella" Italian.... And "Anna" for Anniversary....because she was my beautiful anniversary present.

I just lost my precious pug last week after 16.5 years of pure heaven with her. My little angel was named bogey and the name was perfect for such a gorgeous baby. I'm grieving so much and can't wait to fill my heart with another pug this summer. Bogey R.I.P. My beautiful pug!

We have a 2yr old one eyed fawn pug named Stanley - he is named after my late grandfather who would have loved him!. We are due to pick up another rescue pug today - a black one (1 yr old) - who ius ALSO one eyed!! He is currently called Pugwash (as in Captain Pugwash the kids show). I really like the name, but i think its a good idead to give a dog a new name in a new home.. So im currently debating between -

- Cecile

- Monty

- Humperdink

- Aldrich

- Claude

- Cornelius

- Edgar

I will let you know when we decide!! But generally speaking i do like the more old fashioned names :)

My pugs name is Bailey, he's 8 months old he likes snuggling up, breaking wind and eating bubbles, he's the most cutesy little thing u eva a seen and loves all the attention he getsFrom Kirsty and Nathan x

I just brought home a little stray from my vet's "for the weekend". They had called HIM Buffie, but if my weekend turns into years like it did with a friend who fell for the same line from the same vet, he's definitely going to need a new name. My friends all want me to call him Pugsley but I think it's been used a lot - and I see it on the list. There are so many names I can't use - either because I or one of my siblings have already used it or it's the name of a deceased and beloved relative that wouldn't have been happy about having a name sake. I thought of McGoo, and of Angus (both mentioned above, I see) and Shakespeare. Can't decide.

While Wellington is in itself a wonderful name for a Pug, I think the author above was thinking of Lord Nelson, who lost both an arm and the sight of one eye and was a contemporary of the Duke of Wellington - sorry - use to be a History teacher.
